Freya's POV
I pushed Kingsley aside and hastily got out of the car, stumbling as I went.Unexpectedly, I met Finley there.What was he doing here so late at night?"Freya," Finley whispered my name, his eyes carrying a hint of bitterness. "Did Alpha Kingsley give you a ride home?"I hung my head in shame, contemplating what had just occurred. "Finley, I...""Freya, I know all about it. Can we talk about it?"I nodded and opened the door to my room, inviting Finley inside. He approached and settled on the couch as I poured him a cup of coffee.Finley took a cautious sip of his coffee and then seemed to come to a decision before speaking, "Kingsley isn't actually Grace's biological son."I froze in place.What?I had expected Finley to ask about what was happening between Kingsley and me, not to reveal such a significant secret.Seeing my stunned expression, Finley chuckled softly. "Surprised, aren't you? I was just as shockeFreya's POVAs the days passed, Kingsley attempted to contact me multiple times during this period. However, for some reason, I didn't know how to face him, so I chose to ignore all his calls and messages. Instead, I fully immersed myself in my work to avoid dwelling on those nagging thoughts.On a particular day, I was in the midst of blending a new perfume when I received a call from an unfamiliar number.It couldn't have been Kingsley calling from a different phone.The phone rang, stopped briefly, and then rang shrilly again. Frowning, I hesitated before finally answering."Are you Freya, right?"Before I could respond, a familiar female voice came from the other end of the line."Tracy?"I was somewhat surprised. How did she get my number, and why was she calling me out of the blue?"Regarding you and Kingsley, I'd like to talk to you. Do you have a minute?""Sure."I hesitated briefly but agreed."Then I'l
Freya's POV"Robert, take it easy!"Kingsley observed Robert's trembling hand, gripping the dagger, and couldn't help but raise his voice to offer a reminder."Shut up, you fool! Do I need your lessons at this moment?" Robert retorted with annoyance, brandishing his dagger and pointing it at Kingsley."You, kneel down!"Upon hearing Robert's words, Kingsley appeared somewhat incredulous."NO! You can't do that! You're an Alpha!" I cried out.I noticed Kingsley seemed to be relenting, his knees gradually buckling. I understood what this implied, and to an Alpha of a pack, it was unquestionably an insult that could not be tolerated."On your knees!" Robert repeated, and a faint trail of blood was already forming on my pale neck from my struggles.Kingsley's body trembled slowly, his resistance weakening as he eventually knelt in front of Robert."I can't believe that the unbeatable Kingsley would one day kneel before me in such a
Freya's POV I had a very long dream. In the dream, I saw my mother when she was young. She was gently holding me, telling bedtime stories, taking me shopping hand in hand, and patiently comforting me when I cried. Every day, it was so joyful. In this dream, I felt like an outsider, observing my mother and my younger self. The scene then shifted, and my mother suddenly appeared beside me, gazing at me with a gentle smile. "Mom, I miss you so much." "Child, you've endured a lot, but from today onwards, you'll find happiness. There's someone who will be with you in my place, someone who will love you just as I did. My daughter, you've done a great job; you're my pride." "Go back, return to your friends and loved ones; they're waiting for you." "Mom, please don't go..." I watched as my mother slowly became blurry and disappeared in front of me, and everything around me faded into darkness. I opened my eyes in horror and found myself in a hospital
Kingsley's POVFreya and I chased each other through the moonlit forest, our hearts beating faster as the attraction between us grew. We journeyed through the dense woods, the moonlight spilling over us and illuminating our path.Our eyes were locked with lust and desire. Catching up with Freya, we halted under a tall oak tree, pressing our bodies closer together. Moonlight filtered through the leafy canopy, casting reflections on our fur.I gently embraced Freya, her body warm and soft. Our breaths mingled, creating a heady scent. I gasped as Freya's face flushed l
Kingsley's POVIn the werewolf bar."Hey, Kingsley, when exactly are you and Freya having the Mating Ceremony?" Mark said teasingly as he held up a glass of whiskey and looked at me.My eyes darkened at the mention of the Mating Ceremony. I owed Freya a perfect Mating Ceremony before, so I wanted to make it up to her by having a new one. However, for some reason, Freya always changed the subject whenever I brought it up. This made me very agonized."Kingsley. Seriously, if you can't offer Freya happiness, I'm going to pursue Freya." Finley joked."Hey, what did you mean? You stay away from Freya. Just wait, I'll make Freya agree to finish the Mating Ceremony with me!" I immediately retorted, though I wasn't really mad because I knew Finley was just joking.Just then, I got a call from Henry.Looking at Henry's caller ID, I couldn't help but feel a headache.He hadn't given me a good face since he found out that the sister he managed to get back had accepted me as her mate again."Hmph
Freya's POVThe next day, at the perfume store."Freya, that guy sent you flowers again," Novia said as she walked into the store holding a bouquet of sunflowers."Freya, who the hell sends you flowers every day?"I looked at the bouquet of sunflowers with a small smile on my lips. "I don't know, maybe some idiot," I joked.Looking at the familiar handwriting on the greeting card in the bouquet, I knew, of course, that the flowers were from Kingsley.To be honest, Kingsley had been clinging to me almost every day lately. Where did he still look like an Alpha? He was almost like a husky, and it was causing me a lot of distress.Looking at the time, it was almost time for classes to start.In my spare time, I set up a tutoring class, specifically for teaching children who are interested in perfume about perfume making. Today was my first perfume class.I walked into the room that would be used for the class and began to set up, with Novia helping out. Before long, a lovely group of chil
Kingsley's POVI was in a meeting in the conference room when a loud noise erupted from outside. Not long afterward, a woman's voice reached the room."Get out of the way! I want to see Kingsley!"The security personnel at the door were busy dissuading her, "Alpha Kingsley is in a meeting; it's not convenient to see anyone right now.""I don't care about his meeting! I want to see him now!"The voice outside was so loud that everyone inside the conference room could clearly hear it. Everyone exchanged incredulous looks. Even the person who had just spoken stopped and looked at me tentatively.My face was calm as I coldly said, "Continue."He then cleared his throat and resumed speaking. The meeting continued for more than half an hour before adjourning. People from the R&D department came out of the conference room one after another."When did Eric leave after I left last night?" I asked Jeremy casually.Eric Blackwill was my nominal uncle, Grace's brother, and now the Alpha of the Bl
Freya's POVThe halls of the Victorian palace glowed with twinkling lights and lilting music, as if the stars had descended to earth for a fleeting moment.Suddenly, the doors opened, and I walked slowly into the ballroom, my arm linked with Kingsley's.I was adorned in a vibrant pink dress with tassels, my long hair cascading over my shoulders like a waterfall, adorned with delicate crystal starbursts. In contrast, Kingsley wore a deep, dark blue suit paired with a silver bow tie. A sunny smile graced his face as his eyes met mine.A blush colored my cheeks as we entered the hall, with curious glances from other guests directed our way. The lively sounds of the party—strings and laughter—intermingled, creating a melodic and captivating symphony."Freya! You're finally here!" Novia approached me with enthusiasm, accompanied by Mark at her side.I gave Mark a teasing look before turning to Novia, saying, "Looks like you two…"Novia's face reddened as Mark placed a comforting hand on he
Kingsley's POVThree years later."Kingsley, these two totes contain bedding and pillows for our kids in kindergarten. I've labeled their names on the outside of the bags with a grease pencil. When you take them to kindergarten, please inform their teacher to ensure they don't get mixed up," Freya said, going through the luggage she had packed a few days earlier."This is the kindergarten uniform issued," she added.I nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, it's a small matter, no problem.
Freya's POVKingsley, seething with anger, attempted to lunge forward to take Grace's life, but I intervened and stopped him."I fail to fathom why you must implicate so many innocents when the issue is plainly between us."I leaned forward onto my knees, feeling a little unstable on my feet after the physical exertion."I have nothing to explain. Just kill me," Grace said coldly.However, at that momen
Kingsley's POV"Alpha, Renee has started a war," Jeremy suddenly burst in, his face tense as he delivered the latest battle updates.As a consequence of Boone's demise, Renee became even more audacious in his rebellion. He aligned himself with the Rogues and initiated a war, seeking to establish a new pack through bloodshed and control.Naturally, Grace wouldn't make his quest simple. Under her command, her forces clashed with Renee's forces, both sides fighting to the death."Well, I
Freya's POVLate at night, I abruptly awoke, sensing a cold breeze seeping in from outside..."Freya, open the balcony door," a voice echoed persistently in my mind.I clenched my fists tightly, resisting the compelling command that echoed repeatedly.Yet, the more I concentrated on resisting the intrusive voice, the more violently my head throbbed, as if my brain were on the verge of exploding...Suddenly— a fishy sweetness surged in my throat, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.With blood still lingering at the corner of my mouth, my body had instinctively moved to the balcony's edge and unlocked it.A shadowy figure entered, shrouded in the night's cold, promptly closing the curtains."What a beauty," remarked the visitor, revealed to be Boone, the Gamma of the Black Wolf Pack.Anger flashed in my eyes. "Boone, if you must kill me, do it now.""I will kill you, but not yet," Boone chuckled softly. "Right now, someone wishes to see you, and I must bring you to her."I gritted my t
Freya's POVIt was very quiet in the hospital room, and the wind was audibly whistling outside.I turned my head and my gaze settled on Kingsley's figure: "Kingsley, why are you here... Why am I in the hospital?"The depth of Kingsley's gaze was solemn.He slowly replied, "I brought you to the hospital today for a health check. Don't you remember? How do you feel now?""Other than my head feeling a bit cloudy, I'm fine." I raised my hand and pressed my temple.Kingsley's eyes changed for a moment, then he said in a feigned lighthearted manner, "I'll go call the doctor to come over and give you another brief checkup, is that okay?"I nodded, "Yes, thank you, Kingsley.""Just lie back, and I'll call the doctor."Kingsley stroked my hair, got up, and walked outside the hospital room. Soon he returned with a doctor who brought potions and re-administered my fluids.During this time, I lowered my head slightly, attempting to recall everyt
Kingsley's POVLate at night, I abruptly woke up. Freya lay asleep in my arms, but she wore a persistent frown, suggesting that her sleep was far from peaceful.Leaning down, I tenderly planted a kiss on her forehead. However, as soon as my kiss landed on her forehead, Freya's long legs suddenly lifted.As I was about to reach for her restless legs, Freya's foot kicked forcefully, connecting with my chest. Unexpectedly, this sent my half-kneeling body tumbling off the bed, landing on the carpet.
Freya's POVIn the afternoon, I noticed from a distance that Jeremy had brought someone to meet Kingsley. Despite my hesitation, I walked over to join them."What a surprise! I didn't expect to see you here, Alpha Kingsley," remarked the man named Renee, standing in front of Kingsley. His eyes darted around, making me feel uneasy."Renee, huh? I assume my Beta have briefed you on the partnership. Does your visit imply agreement?" Kingsley asked coldly, a frown on his face and a subtle flicker of disgust in his eyes."Of course. Nobody would decline a partnership with you, Alpha Kingsley. I just want to understand your motivation for helping me," Renee inquired cautiously."The answer is evident, isn't it? Grace is my enemy, and naturally, I want her to face consequences. You'll have control of the entire Black Wolf Pack, and I get to deal with my enemy personally. It's a fair trade, isn't it?" Kingsley responded."Indeed. Then you will come with me." Sa
Kingsley's POV"Alpha, we've received a report from Blackland," Jeremy exclaimed as he stormed into my office."Go ahead," I replied."We can confirm that Grace went back to the Black Wolf Pack with a baby, claiming it's Robert's child and destined to be the Alpha of the Black Wolf Pack."I sneered, "As I expected.""Moreover, our sources report an increase in defenses and patrols by the Black Wolf Pack lately."I paced back to the map. "Look here, Blackland is surrounded by mountains, with only narrow paths between the hills providing access to the pack's interior. After Grace returned, every entrance was strictly guarded. It presents quite a challenge, but I've heard that the Black Wolf Pack faced an attack by a group of Rogues some time ago."Turning back to face Jeremy, I continued, "They might have a secret passage into Blackland."Jeremy responded, "But would that group of Rogues be willing to collaborate with us?""We don't need to
Kingsley's POV"We need to figure out what's going on with the Black Wolf Pack right now." I met privately with Jeremy."Alpha Kingsley, what are you going to do? Grace can be tricky, and she's not stupid," Jeremy asked.I smiled and turned to him, "I think it's time to meet with my dear sister, Joyce."Grace had been imprisoned by me as an accomplice since the deaths of Alex and Robert. As for my sister Joyce, I knew she wasn't involved in all the planning, so I'd just ring-fenced a territory for her to live in.Jeremy stroked his chin as if trying to understand my true intentions. "Very well, I'll make arrangements as soon as I can."He paused for a moment as I gave him my orders. "Tell the guys to get ready for action."Jeremy nodded and then left.After a while, Joyce's voice rang out from the other side of the door. "Alpha Kingsley!"I walked over and opened the door.She was wearing subtle makeup; her perfume didn't smell as strong as it usually did, and she was acting more poli
